Sword-Bearer's Big Talk.

FORT CUSTER, Mont, Dot. 2S.-Twenty
Gros-Ventres Indians, en- route from
Shoshone camp, were brought in yester-
day to be held until the trouble is over.
The weather is quite warm and the
snow Is gone from the plateaus and bot
toms, but there are still large quantities
in the mountains. No movements will be
made against the outlaws for two or
three days. A white scout, accompanied
by two Crow scouts, was sent yesterday
to locate Sword bearers camp OF insub-
ordinates. 1t was found II miles up the
Big Horn. Thirty or forty lodges were
with him, representing following Of
200 or more. 1t 10 now the opinion OF
the officers at the post that when the
forces take field, Sword-bearer and his
people will go to the mountains in the
Black Canyon, on Big Horn. There
they can defy pursuit. Sword bearer
says: "When Sitting Bull fought there
were many Buffalo, now there are as
many cattle. l shall not want for meat"
He is defiant, but an open demonstra-
ton OF military strength may lead to q
capitalization without battle.

Excitement.

The second season at II. r. Jacobs Grand
opera house opened last night with greeting
that was almost an ovation TO Florence J.
Bindley, Il native of this city, where she has
been known as the spriRhtly Baby BindIey'
Of other days. The house was packed a half
hour before the performance, and standing
room was at a premium. Miss Bindley had
chosen for her part Gabrielle, the Flower Girl
in BARLEY Campbelrs comedy drama, "A
Heroine in Rags" That the little lady essayed
role she is perfectly competent to Ill was
evident. The play itself is fairly good one
and its meagre plot is compensated for by
thrilling scenes and situations. The only un-
pleasant feature of the evening was the long
waits between the acts, which can be excused
in first nights representation. Miss Bindley
was fortunate IN having for her support
James Horne as Jean La Crosse, the
artist lover, and the remainder of the cast was
exceptionally good. The part of Martin Bras
biOn by 4. Bedford was well sustained, as was
also that of Reame lie MaTtic by OTIS Turner.
During the evening Miss Bindley was the re-
cipient of handsome floral star, presented
by her admirers. "A Heroine in Rags" will
hold the boards at tOday's matinee and even
Ing performance. Tomorrow and Thursday
nights and at tOmOrIOw's matinee, Miss
Bindley will assume the role of Evangeline in
the latest comedy craze."-ExChange.

Those Anarchist Petitions.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 2S.-It is
curious fact that among all the commu-
nioations that have reached the govern
or for and against clemency for the
anarchists, there is but one formal petit
ton, and that is mailed from small in
terror town in New York. The main
body OF all other literature on
the governors desk consists OF personal
appeals and remOnstraDoes. 1t has al
ready become an interesting question,
therefore, whether there is such case
before the governor in behalf Of these
prisoners as he could act upon. In fact,
the governor says that no suoh spplioa-
ton or petition as Is cont emplated in law
has been filed by any Of the men
under sentence in Cook county,
In what Is known as the anarchists ca SO.
Whether the governor would consider
case not conforming to those legal re-
quirements can only be inferred. A let
Ter to the governor written by Parsons,
which was printed in several Of the
newspapers, was never mailed to him,
or at least he never got 1t, and there
fore officially knows nothing OF it.

her father and mother Wednesday night

she, unlike the wife Of the good old Bible

husband. Since then he has been per-

his child, though the privilege was
but grudgingly accorded. Trouble
has been brewing for some time, the
young man laying the blame for his

with the old man, beating him over
the head pretty badly. He also struck
his mother-in-law.
